The purpose of a Village Design Statement (VDS) is to enable local people to have a say in how they wish their village to develop so that it does not lose its essential characteristics. The Terling and Fairstead Village Design Statement describes the particular character of our Parish and makes recommendations (guidelines) to influence future planning and development. It has been drawn up by representatives of the Parish in full consultation with the residents, businesses and the local planning authorities. The VDS is no paper exercise. Braintree District Council (BDC) formally approves the guidelines in a VDS and uses them in the determination of planning applications. This means that private and public planners and developers, builders, landowners, employers, architects and homeowners need to view it so that they can make informed decisions about how their plans affect the village character and environment.

  • WVTM Team Profile April 2017
    Serving the town of Witham and the villages of Terling, Fairstead, White Notley, Faulkbourne, Rivenhall and Silver End Team Profile & Role Description for post of Team Vicar (Pioneer) April 2017 The Heart of Essex from White Notley to the North Blackwater Estuary Witham and Villages Team Ministry The Witham and Villages Team Ministry was formed in November 2014 and incorporates the town of Witham and the villages of Rivenhall, Silver End, Terling, Fairstead, White Notley and Faulkbourne. The ministry team includes the Team Rector, two Team Vicars, six Authorised Lay Preachers (ALP) and a Pastoral Assistant. In addition, at present, we have a full-time stipendiary curate in his second year and a part-time self-supporting curate (SSM) in her third year. We also have an ordinand in training who will be ordained deacon in September 2017 and will serve as a Locally Deployed Self-Supporting Minister (LDSSM). The Team Rector has overall responsibility for ministry across the Team and day to day responsibility for St Nicolas’ Church, Witham. The departure of one of our two Team Vicars has enabled us to re-consider the focus of our mission and ministry across the Team. We have been able to think strategically following the decision by the Diocese of Chelmsford to recruit an Associate Priest who will have a diocesan role as Rural Adviser housed in the Vicarage in Terling and offering Sundays plus two days in the villages of Terling, Fairstead and Faulkbourne. The creation of this new post means that our new Team Vicar (Pioneer) will be able to focus his or her ministry principally in the area of new housing and development in South Witham which is where the Vicarage is located.
